The blog post about upgrading even hit my phone's Google Discover feed, so I decided to go ahead and do it today. Smooth and easy upgrade, and quick, too...when it did all the file installs, I left the laptop and went to make breakfast. By the time I got back to the computer, it was done, and a rebo...

I haven't tried the update yet, but the new Firefox is a VERY slow download as expected. I downloaded Firefox last night and didn't have any problem at all. Usually the next day (when you are doing it) is fine, but not this time. It finally finished, and there's a new update manager. I installed it...

I haven't tried the update yet, but the new Firefox is a VERY slow download as expected. Too bad we can't get that from mirrors...

Smooth upgrade, and 21.2 is running smooth as well!

Looking forward to the upgrade!

And, yes, as SMG noted - the upgrade usually posts a while after the ISOs. Hang in there, it'll come!

Thank you to SMG for helping me to the solution after much troubleshooting help.

She was patient and helped me find the final answer!

Thank you AGAIN for all your help!! You are welcome. Please go to your first post in this topic, click the pencil icon, and add [SOLVED] to the title so others know you are no longer seeking help on this issue. Done. (And it wasn't a plus sign, it is a small icon with a stick figure person. Probabl...

I found it, it is at the top right of the login screen under the small icon of a person in a circle, "Onscreen keyboard".

No idea how I turned it on from the keyboard, but pulling that down and selecting it turned it off again.

Thank you AGAIN for all your help!!

Keep us posted as that fix may help others as well if it helps you. Yep, put it in permanently and it works time after time after time. I've rebooted about a half dozen times and it works every time. I think we have a winner! The keyboard is responding MUCH faster now. Yep, and continues: 0.000000]...

Found the following on post #37 on ArchLinux: Various problems with HP Spectre x360 aw2xxxng (Tiger Lake) Kind-of-workaround for the long keyboard initialization: add "i8042.dumbkbd=1" to the kernel command line. This is not the best solution as it breaks caps lock led, but otherwise it's...

We could see if dmesg | grep -i 'kbd\|i8042' indicates any issues. [ 0.304189] i8042: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:PS2K] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 [ 0.304190] i8042: PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp [ 0.310255] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x...

The input number is much lower. Maybe something else is happening on yours which is resulting in the higher input number and that is also what makes it not work right away? I do not know why there would be a difference between the two keyboards unless there are some hardware gremlins at work. :? Wo...

New data point: I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard (for other reasons) and IT WORKS AT THE LOGIN PROMPT EVERY TIME. It even works when the built in keyboard does not. In fact, the internal keyboard was off for a few minutes until right before I started the message with the wireless keyboard. I ra...

The keyboard is showing as being there. Those are standard outputs that my older laptop has. I was trying to put in xinput when the keyboard wasn't there (copy/paste/virtual keyboard) but I was too late. I have moved to 3 minutes from the login prompt to wait and try it. It has been there except fo...

In all cases, the keyboard starts working after a time, a few seconds up to a minute later, usually after many attempted keystrokes. Have you just let it sit without typing to see if maybe there is some type of time delay on it starting? If that type of situation is happening there might be somethi...

Nothing stood out in Power Management. One new data point - the original Linux Mint USB that I used to install also has the no working keyboard at start option, which I tested by trying to type in Terminal. The keyboard started working after a few keystrokes. Another data point - an external HDD I a...

I am not sure if it'll work...after the keyboard shows up, it keeps working fine. It might be somehow related to power management for the bus on which the keyboard is located. If you want to stay with an OEM Kernel , you have two options: Install the latest 5.13-oem kernel with sudo apt install lin...

And here is my inxi - Fxz for good measure: There are newer OEM and regular kernels available if you would like to try one. You have very new hardware so perhaps that might help. Let us know if you want to try one and need directions for installing it. Hmm, interesting thought. I even tried booting...

I have the same symptoms of the OP in this thread: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=286484 My laptop keyboard stopped communicating with Linux Mint. I first noticed it when logging in (no way to type my password in the log in window). Then I tried several combinations of key com...

I just got a new Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB tuner. https://hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_dualhd.html Great device.
